Hi all! I am in a somewhat similar boat and would appreciate some help. My first question is - for the first PR card, where are you checking application status? If I check the application status here
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do and it says no result found! So it hasn't started processing maybe? Or am I checking in the wrong place?
In my case, I landed in end of June and got a request for photos mid August, and sent them the same day. Unfortunately, I didn't know UPS would not deliver them to the PO box 4500, and it went to the general delivery area. I realized this error in late November and sent photos again, via Canada post. Somewhere in the middle I sent an inquiry through webform and was told that it's being processed.
Here's where it gets a little complicated - I needed to leave Canada and have now applied for a PRTD. I need to leave this country and travel to a second one, so I'm not sure how I'll submit my passport. Do you think there's hope that I can get my PR card before end January? TIA!
